Another day, another trade for the Tampa Bay Rays. This time, the team dealt outfielder Corey Dickerson to the Pirates.

In exchange, the Rays get right-handed pitcher Daniel Hudson, minor league infielder Tristan Gray and cash.

Dickerson, who was an All-Star for the American League last year is the latest Rays starter to be traded. On Wednesday, Tampa Bay traded Steven Souza, Jr., to Arizona. And a few days before that, they sent starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi to the Twins.

Dickerson had been designated for assignment last week.

Hudson, 30, went 2-7 with a 4.38 ERA (61.2-IP, 30-ER) in a career-high 71 appearances in 2017, his only season with the Pirates. Gray was selected by the Pirates in the 13th round of the 2017 June Draft out of Rice University.
